Plenty of Time!







So our plane to Cincinnati, Ohio was delayed. Then delayed a little more. Ronak and I were worried that we may miss our connecting flight to Frankfurt but our flight attendant disagreed. Mr. Flight Attendant insisted that we would have plenty of time. "Plenty!" he said. As predicted, it was the opposite of plenty, it was literally negative time. Ronak and I sprinted through the airport without regard for elder or disabled. We made it, huffing and puffing, but we made it. Our flight was good and we landed in Frankfurt very tired and decided, for lack of a good hostel, to head straight to Berlin. With both of our cloudy brains and the help of a lot of different, random people we made it on to the train to Berlin and we were in the wall-less city by 5. We explored a little, found a good hostel and are definitely ready for bed tonight.
We are in a dorm with 14 other people (I know you parents will love that) but we've chatted with several of them and they have all seemed nice.

Berlin so far has been good. The "fashion" has really stood out to us...mostly as very odd. People seem to be able to get away with whatever they want. Ronak and I are wearing dresses tomorrow to test this theory. Just kidding. The city is beautiful and seems very efficient aka German. Every other car is a Mercedes or BMW or Audi and we are enjoying this :). We only explored for a few hours but there will be more to come as we go on some tours tomorrow and the next day.

  1. As we speak, the Cincinnati PD is searching for "two brown men" who knocked over an elderly lady whilst running through the airport. I recommend flying back into a different US city.
